Add way indicate if there are 2+ people in the car
If you can indicate that people are in the car with you Waze can advise you on route where you can take the HOV lanes
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Hello, please add an option to disable or change the sound alert when lanes split or merge. Right now the app makes multiple dings in a row,

Adding alert for vehicle going below the lowest speed limit
I really appreciate the effort you put in this application. Specially the limit for the route speed in UAE . You perfectly added the high limit for the speed.
My suggestion is to add the lower limit for the route which vehicles can't go below.
It's crucial because the fine for exceeding the speed is the exact same amount for going below the lowest speed.
I myself got fined for this gap on Mohamed bin Rashid street which is not allowed to drive below 120 KM/H . And I came to know after fine of 1200 derhams ( 400×3 ,…2 votes -
Navigation for large slow and articulated vehicles
For motorhomes and towing a trailer, it’s important not to be sent down narrow lanes, or to be turned right at busy junctions.

Waze explodes everywhere, there is another functionality -easily to active and have a huge potential to increase safety
Waze explodes everywhere, there is another functionality -easily to active and have a huge potential to increase safety. I am COO of an operator on highway, daily managing many interventions which has impact on traffic -realizing closures to impact traffic flow to ensure safety for necessary works. Imagine providing directly information about closures to you (Waze) so users can see them (without notifying from users later, ahead!). Please think about that. I know its easy and could have important impact on people -ant that is what Waze is, right?

Waze Saved Us
Yesterday I overslept and missed my train to the NYC Marathon. My wife drove me quickly from the North Bronx to Midtown Manhattan. We were diverted around all street closures.
Thank you so much

Add support for government emergency alerts (cell broadcast integration) to notify drivers entering affected areas
As a Waze volunteer editor, I’d like to suggest integrating a feature that uses official cell broadcast emergency alerts sent by governments or national agencies (such as AMBER Alerts, severe weather warnings, or public safety alerts).
The idea is simple: when a Waze user drives into an area where a cell broadcast alert was recently sent, the app could display a notification or short message about it — even if that driver didn’t originally receive the alert on their phone because they were outside the area at the time.
This feature could be extremely valuable in real-life situations, such as:…

EZ Pass- Make it a Standard 1st or 2nd Option
Today, during heavy rainfall the EZ Pass lanes were empty and considerably safer. That route was not one of the 3 offered to me. Even if it's out of the way, I'd like to have the option.

I'm pleased to see these smiling faces that clog the view on my cell phone, and to block my view of important things like road closures.
I'm pleased to see these avatar faces that help clog up the little view on my cell phone, and to see how they block my view of important things like road construction. I suppose next we'll see giraffes and buffalo icons to help obscure things even more? REally....WHO CARES about the smiley faces, ok?? GET RID OF THEM. I just want to go from point A to Point B. I'm not looking at the app to be entertained while I'm driving at 70 mph, ok?

Voice feedback
Give road conditions eg. Accidents/closures/pot holes etc by voice ie. 'Waze - pot hole at this point' or 'Waze - road closed here's. Rather than taking eyes of road to press screen icons.

Save the route for the way back from a location and also to use it other time
Possibility to save the route for the way back home from a location or to use it again other time. Many times waze guides you back on a longer/country lanes route.

Optimization Proposal for Waze – Integration of Support for Buses and Trucks
To enhance user experience and expand the app’s target audience, it is recommended to add dedicated support for heavy and public vehicles such as buses and trucks. This feature would include the following components:
Customized Driver Profiles – An option to select the type of vehicle: truck, bus, private car, motorcycle, etc.
Tailored Route Planning – Routes would consider height and weight restrictions, specific traffic signs (e.g., "No entry for trucks"), and restricted access zones.
Integration of Dedicated Lanes – For buses: display of bus-only lanes (such as BRT or HOV lanes) and incorporate their availability into…

Clean Special Fuel Vehicle HOV Access
In Virginia they offer Clean Special Fuel Vehicle license plates for vehicles to access to only certain HOV lanes. For example, I cannot use I-95 EZ Pass for free unless I have 3+ people, but I can use the Dulles Toll Road and a few others that meet the criteria for the IRS for Clean Special Fuel Vehicles.
We need an option to put in the type of playe/access that will route away from tolls, but allow us to use the HOV lanes where it is free. I'm sure this is similar in other states and places.

Incorrect Route
Please stop directing people off Highway 80 Eastbound onto Chiles (frontage) Road and other surface roads at Davis CA. Highway 80 necks down from 5 lanes at UC Davis to 3 lanes across the Yolo Causeway. People are not getting onto the causeway any faster because of your direction. What is happening is that entire neighborhoods are blocked in. Emergency vehicles have no access as the surface roads are backed up to Highway 113 and even further. People are "parked" in intersections, blocking them. When Davis Legacy Soccer is holding a tournament off Chiles, people are blocked into…

Add a thumbs down option for routes
Please add a thumbs down option to routes. For example I hate crossing 6 lanes of traffic during busy commute times. I'd like to thumbs down that route so Waze doesn't bring me that way again.

Make sure that a NZ person does the waze updates so we can don't need the accent which is hard to understand also
Also make sure they tell you to turn right before you right there so you can change lanes if needed to, & don't say turn left now then find out OOPS one way st & I can.

Please work with Android Auto to show detailed routes on car screen.
Please work with Android Auto to show detailed routes on car screen. Seeing the entire route feels safer in my opinion--to know well ahead of time the expected turns and lanes one should be in.

Change Dangerous Direction Given by Waze
Near Brandon Florida a direction is given to take Dali Drive to reach Bloomingdale Avenue. If directions are followed and one is turning left, one is forced to cross 4 lanes with very poor visibility! If the app instead directed one to drive just 1 block further instead, the left turn can be made safely with the traffic signal.

Allow reporting after cap hit
Currently when reporting multiple road closures there is a cap on reports, but sometimes this is necessary e.g on my case, trying to get home during a flood event.
When the cap is hit, allow the report for that user only, so they can at least still find a route home. This will still ensure protection from abuse of the report function.1 vote -
westbound interstate 40 Ingram Blvd exit
westbound interstate 40 Ingram Blvd should exit 279A Traffic should NOT exit from 40 at exit 5 because they have to cross 3 lanes of traffic in the span of less than 100 yards. This is a VERY dangerous maneuver and the scene of several fatal accidents trying to make this exit.
